A
In October 1800，John Todd was born in Rutland, Vermont. Soon afterward，his parents moved to Killingworth, Connecticut. When John was six, both his parents died.
A kind-hearted aunt in North Killingworth agreed to take John and give him a home. He was brought up by her and lived in her home until he left to study for the ministry.
His aunt took seriously ill and feared she was about to die. In great suffering she wrote John Todd a letter in which she asked him to tell her what death would be like.
Here is the letter he sent in reply:
It is now thirty-five years since I, as a little boy of six, was left quite alone in the world. You sent me word you would give me a home and be a kind mother to me.
I have never forgotten the day when I made the long journey of ten miles to your house in North Killingworth. I can still remember my disappointment when, instead of coming for me yourself, you sent your servant James to fetch me.
I well remembered my tears and anxiety as, sitting high on your horse and sticking tight to James, I rode off to my new home. Night fell before we finished the journey, and as it grew dark I became lonely and afraid. “Do you think she’ll go to bed before we get there?” I asked James anxiously. “Oh, no,” he said encouragingly. “She’ll stay up for you. When we get out of these woods you’ll see her candle shining in the window.”
Presently we did ride out into the clearing, and there, sure enough, was your candle. I remember you were waiting at the door, that you put your arms close about me and that you lifted me — a tired and confused little boy — down from the horse. You had a fire burning on the ground, a hot supper waiting on the stove. After supper you took me to my new room, heard me say my prayers, and then sat beside me until I fell asleep.
You probably realize why I am recalling all this to your memory. Some day soon God will send for you, to take you to a new home. Don’t fear the callings, the strange journey, or the dark messenger of death who will fetch you. God can be trusted to do as much for you as you were kind enough to do for me so many years ago. At the end of the road you will find love and a welcome waiting, and you will be safe in God’s care. I shall watch you and pray for you till you are out of sight, and then wait for the day when I shall make the same journey myself and find you waiting at the end of the road to greet me.

Shi Jianfei is a college student at Beijing Information Science and Technology University. He met with an academic problem during the summer vocation but it took him a lot determination to finally approach his professor to solve the problem. To his surprise, the meeting turned out to be quite pleasant.
But only few students turn to their professors to ask for advice in solving problems or discuss academic topics with them. According to an investigation of 2,636 college students conducted by MyCOS, a Beijing-based consultancy (咨询公司), more than a third of them contact their, professor less than once a year.
Although most students and teachers are willing to communicate with each other, it seems that an effective communication system is absent. Shi says , “Communication usually takes place in class or between classes, because it's difficult to get in touch with professors at any other time. University professors always look very busy.”
However, from the teachers' perspective, students are too cautious about communicating with professors. “They're worried about asking questions for they think they may leave a bad impression,” says Du Xiguang, professor of chemistry at Northeast Normal University. Du created a QQ group in which students can discuss various issues with him, ranging from academic topics to personal problems. “I find they are very talkative in this group. But if they talk to me in person, they're shy and nervous,” he says.
Wu Qian, 22, an English major at Tsinghua University admits that when she meets with problems she prefers talking to her classmates and upper-classmen. “I think many students are too shy and passive, myself included. I feel more comfortable communicating with my classmates,” she says.
Du also says that the shyness of many students to a change lies in different teaching styles. In primary school, Chinese students get used to talking with their teachers because they're like“nannies” who not only teach, but also watch out for their students' personal development.
“In college, such communication isn't compulsory any more and students aren't pushed to discuss their ideas with professors,” says Du. “The real problem is that students aren't yet ready to engage in adult conversation with professors. Some of them just expect professors to explain facts and help them prepare for exams, like in high school.”
55. What does Paragraph 2 talk about?
A. The reason why the communication is little.
B. The present situation of communication.
C. The background of the phenomenon.
D. The details of the phenomenon.
56. What’s the real reason why Shi Jianfei didn’t turn to his professor for help
immediately meeting with an academic problem?
A. An effective communication mechanism is absent.
B. It's difficult to get in touch with professor.
C. He is too shy and passive.
D. Communication isn't compulsory any more.
57. The underlined word “nannies” is closest in meaning to_________.
A. nurses
B. gardeners
C. friends
D. leaders
58. In which way does the author present the passage?
A. By giving some dialogues between students and teachers
B. By giving some specific examples of students and teachers
C. By interviewing different students and teachers
D. By listing some facts and opinions of students and teachers
C
A new study surprised researchers, finding that for adolescent girls, romantic relationship problems can have serious, negative impacts on their mental health.
“I found that girls’risk of severe depression, thoughts of killing themselves, and self-killing attempt increase, the more their relationships diverge (偏离) from what they imagined,”said the study’s author Brian Soller, Ph.D., an assistant professor of sociology at the University of New Mexico.
Soller used data from more than 5,300 high school students from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. From this data he examined the mental health consequences of mismatches between adolescents’ ideal and actual relationships.
Soller measured relationship inauthenticity by comparing how adolescents described their ideal relationship in an initial interview with how their first relationship after the interview actually played out.
“In the initial interview, researchers provided adolescents with a number of cards describing events that often occur within relationships, including everything from hand-hol ding and kissing to sex,” Soller said.
Respondents kept cards describing events they would engage in within an ideal relationship, and then indicated the order in which the events would occur.
Roughly a year later, the respondents repeated the exercise, only this time they indicated which events took place within their relationship, and then provided the order in which the events happened.
During both interviews, researchers asked participants about their mental health.
As for why relationship inauthenticity increased the risk of mental health problems for girls, but not for boys, Soller said, “Romantic relationships are particularly important components of girls’ identities and are, therefore, strongly related to how they feel about themselves — good or bad.
“As a result, relationships that diverge from what girls imagine for themselves are especially damaging to their emotional well-being.”
On the other hand, Soller said relationships are not as important to boys’ identities.
“Boys may be more likely to build their identities around sports or other after-class activities, so this could be why they are not affected by relationship inauthenticity,” he said.
In terms of the study’s policy implications, Soller said parents, educators, and policymakers should think about how to help girls construct identities that are less closely tied to romantic involvement.
“Helping girls build their identities around things other than romantic relationships may mitigate the effects of relationship inauthenticity on their
menta l health,” he said.
59. From the text, we can know that _______________________.
A. the mental health results of teens’ ideal relationship matches actual relationship
B. in the first interview, teens are asked to state their actual relationship
C. thousands of senior school students serve as subjects
D. half a year later, the subjects are required to describe their mental problem again
60. Soller may agree that ________________________.
A. romantic relationship plays as important a part in girls’ life as in boys’ life
B. romantic relationship prevents girls from participating in various activities
C. romantic relationship problems can damage teen girls’ mental health
D. romantic relationship is strongly related to how boys feel about themselves
61. The unde rlined word “mitigate” can be replaced by _______________.
A. ease
B. increase
C. protect
D. prohibit
62. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A. To persuade.

The Oscar nominations (提名) will be announced tomorrow morning and despite the Academy’s best efforts, it looks like the biggest films of the year will be mostly shut out of competition. Don’t expect bi g nominations for The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises or The Hunger Games.
Since 2008, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has been playing with the scheme for Best Picture in the hopes of getting more popular films nominated (提名) and increasing audience for the Oscar ceremony which last year was watched by fewer people than watched the Grammy Awards. First they increased the number of nominated films from five to ten. This year, to complicate things, there could be as many as ten nominees or as few as five. In order to qualify for a Best Picture nod, a film has to be the top pick of at least 5% of the Academy voters.
That means there’s room for a n unknown factor. Our in-house film expert, Mark Hughes, thinks that could be Skyfall or The Hobbit which would ruin the condition of this post. I think Skyfall has a decent chance of being a spoiler. It has a admirable director in Sam Mendes, it’s earned almost universal praise from critics and it’s the first Bond movie ever to bring in $1 bil lion at the box office.
But I suspect we’re going to see a very blockbuster（大片）-light list of nominations. The films that are getting the most award are Lincoln, Les Miserables and Zero Dark Thirty. While Lincoln and Les Miz are doing well at the box office (earning $144 million and $172 million so far separately), they aren’t ne ar the top earners of 2012. Zero Dark Thirty has only been playing in a few theaters. It expands into wide release this weekend.
It’s not necessarily a bad thing that big blockbusters don’t get nominated. Films that earn over $1 billion at the box office don’t really need any more publicity or anything else to help increase DVD income. Smaller films, like Zero
Dark Thirty, rely on that Oscar boom. Nominations focusing on smaller films is good for the overall Hollywood ecosystem, even if the people running the awards would like to make things interesting a bit.
The awards are scheduled for February 24th on ABC. Seth MacFarlane is this year’s host.
63. The AMPAS made changes to Best Picture to ___________.
A. attract more people to watch movies
B. keep the biggest films away from it
C. make the Oscar ceremony more popular
D. increase the number of popular movies
64. The underlined part “Skyfall has a decent chance of being a spoiler” (in
Paragraph 3) means _________.
A. Skyfall is the best Bond movie
B. Skyfall is quite likely to be nominated
C. Skyfall is just so-so
D. Skyfall has little chance to be nominated
65. Nominations focusing on smaller films is in the hope that __________ .
A. smaller films are better than those so-called blockbusters
B. more people will go to see smaller films
C. blockbusters needn’t any nominations
D. blockbusters will have better environment
66. There is a room for an unknown factor in the nominations this year because ____.
A. the film has to be selected by at least 5% of the Academy voters
B. there could be five to ten nominees
C. the biggest films will be mostly shut out of competition
D. The Hobbit would ruin the condition of this post

A burial site at 22,000 feet is giving scientists the best look at horrible Incan sacrificial ceremonies. By modern standards, the dangerous peak of Mount Llullaillaco, in the Argentine Andes, is no place for kids. The ancient Inca saw things differently though, some 500 years ago, three children arrived at the slopes of the 22,000 feet peak. The three had spent time at the 17,000 feet level, taking part in some ceremonies that can only be guessed at. Then, accompanied by a group of adults, they moved steadily upward. They would not return. Once at the peak, the children—two girls and a boy, between eight and 15 years old—would be ceremonially sacrificed and buried beneath 5 feet of broken rocks. They may even have been buried alive.
And there the story might have ended but for the tireless efforts of Johan Reinhard, an independent archaeologist (考古学家) funded by the National Geographic Society. Reinhard's specialty is climbing up the Andes in search of sacrificial remains; he had already located 15 bodies, including the famed ice maid he found in 1995. But these three, whose discovery he announced last week, are by far the most impressive. They were frozen solid within hours of their burial. Two of the bodies are almost perfectly preserved; the third was damaged by lightning. The children's inside organs are not only undamaged but also still contain blood. Says Craig Morris, an expert at New York City's American Museum of Natural History: “It
is truly a fantastic discovery.”
What makes it so fantastic is not just the bodies themselves, but also the wealth of works of art that were buried along with them: 36 gold and silver statues, small woven bags, pottery, a small camel figure and seashell necklaces. Reinhard says, “One of the girls has a beautiful yellow, geometrically designed cover laid over her.” Her head wears a feather and a golden mask. Some of the bodies were surrounded with food wrapped in camel skin, which indicates that the children came from the Incan social leadership—not surprising, since only people of high status would have been considered worthy of sacrifice. Little is known about the sacrificial ceremony itself; these objects, along with others found at the lower camp, should tell archaeologists plenty.
The preserved bodies, meanwhile, will give scientists a look at Incan physiology （生理） firstly. The Argentine military took them away to the nearby town of Salta. There, experts will analyze their organs for information about their diet and their DNA to try and establish their relationship to other racial groups. Reinhard will head back into the mountains. There is no telling how many more bodies remain to be found.
67. From the first paragraph we learn that ____________.
A. the peak of Mount Llullaillaco was not dangerous in the past
B. ancient Incans used to hold sacrificial ceremonies on top of the mountain
C. burying children alive was a common practice in ancient Incan society
D. the three children made the mountain climbing by themselves
68. What do Craig Morris’words mean: “It is truly a fantastic discovery”?
A. Johan Reinhard works with the National Geographic Society.
B. Archaeological discoveries depend on the independent work of archaeologists.
C. The Andes is a treasure for archaeologists in search of sacrificial remains.
D. Andean archaeology focuses on unearthing human bodies.
69. Rehinhard's discovery shows that _____________.
A. ancient Incans were masters of body-preservation
B. the children suffered a lot before they were buried
C. Incan children from rich families were often made sacrifices
D. ancient Incans had grasped a high level of craftsmanship
70. We can draw a conclusion from the text that____________.
A. Johan Reinhard's discovery will throw light on the study of ancient Incans
B. Reinhard will find a lot more bodies in the future
C. experts can now describe the sacrificial ceremony in detail
D. Argentine military are also interested in archaeological activities

M: Yeah, I am worn out. I've been surfing the Internet.

a really interesting chat room with people from that country and started chatting. W: Did you get the information you needed?

M: Do you know why I love Sundays, Mum?
W: Sure, Johnny. You don't go to school today.
M: That's true, but I don't go to school on Saturdays, either.
W: Then, don't tell me there are sports on TV all day.
M: You are so right. No one knows me better, Mum.
W: Oh, come on, don't even think about it. You've promised to clean your room today. M: I will. All I need is only 30 minutes, just to know who will win the basketball game, please.
W: All right, but not before you've finished the cleaning.

W: Don't you have any good news?
M: No. Yesterday I had to stay after school, because I was talking during my biology class.
W: You'd better keep quiet in class.
M: Sometimes I do. The day before yesterday, I was very quiet during my history class and I still had to stay after class.
W: I don't understand.
M: Because I fell asleep during the class, but it wasn't my fault. The lesson was very dull.
W: I advise you to take school more seriously. If you don't pass your exam, you'll have to drop out and work as a result.
M: I don't think that it makes much difference. If I have a job, I have to do dull work every day, but if I'm in school, I must listen to dull teachers every day. Text 9

Good morning, this is Helen Green with this edition of Morning Hours on air. Now if you've got nothing to do today, why not go to the east part of the city and get digging. That's the message from No. 1 Senior High School, which is organizing a tree planting event near East Mountain. No. 1 Senior High School is a member of the Environmental group of the city. In order to improve the environmental education
of the students and get more people organized, the school is planning to plant a total of 1,400 trees paid by the government over next few days. They are hoping to plant half of them a day and they are looking for volunteers to come along and help. No experience is necessary, as there will be experts to give directions and the equipment will be provided. But if you have tree planting tools, please do bring them along in case a lot of people come and want to start digging at the same time. Every one is welcome to come along anytime between 10 and 4 o'clock. Because you will be working in the mountains, I don't think you need my advice of what sort of shoes or clothes you have to wear. And of course, gloves will be essential to protect your hands if you're actually doing the digging. So it could be really a nice day out for all families. Enjoy your day.

E篇
E篇讲述了安第斯山区的最新考古发现以及这一发现的重大意义。
67答案是B。这一段描述了古印加人把孩子送到山顶祭祀的事情，由此可见古印加人曾经在山顶举行祭祀仪式。山顶的自然环境在过去和现并没有太大差别，因此A项是错误的。
对于这些孩子的死亡方式用了might一词表示猜测，所以C项不对。D项是错的，因为文中提到了accompanied by a group of adults，说明他们是在成人的护送下登山的。68答案是C。文中提到Reinhard在安第斯山区搜寻祭祀遗物方面的多项考古发现，并引用其它考古学家的话说他最近的发现是"fantastic discovery"。文章最后文中第二段对Reinhard的身份说明中指出他是一个受国家地理协会资助的独立考古学家，因此A是错误的。独立考古学家的工作很重要，但不等于考古发现就依赖他们，所以B也是错误的。
安第斯考古活动有很多方面的内容，遗体出土只是其中一项，文中也讲到陪葬物品的考古价值，所以D也不对。
69答案是D。由发现的陪葬品，尤其是那个"beautiful yellow, geometrically designed cover"可以看出古代印加人的工艺水平已经相当高了。遗体保存较好主要是由于冰雪的缘故，和印加人保存尸体的技术无关，A是错误的。文中并没有提到这些孩子们在死前的情况，所以B不能成立。文中讲到从陪葬品可以看出孩子们来自上层社会，但不等于"
富有家庭的孩子经常成为祭物"，所以C项不对。
70答案是A。文中第二段最末引用其他科学家的话说这次发现"fantastic"，在第三段最末又说所发现的物品也将让考古学家对祭祀仪式有更多的了解。最后一段也介绍了科学家们将对这次发现展开研究工作，由此可见，这次发现可以促进对古印加人的研究工作。

One possible version
On the path to success nothing can be more important than holding on a little bit more. Only if you hold out a little bit more, will success come along. Tha t’s how things go.
An incident will never fade from my memory. One day, I had been puzzling over
a math problem for long without any result. When I was on the point of giving up, it was my math teacher who encouraged me to go on. Following his advice, I kept thinking and trying. Eventually my efforts paid off. A solution flashed into my mind suddenly, from whi ch case, I was astonished by the power of “striving a little bit more”.
As someone puts it, “success means you did all that was expected of you and a little bit more ”, which exactly illustrates the profound significance of staying longer . So hold out a little bit more, success is just around the corner.
